The Bachelor Juan Pablo Week 4- S.Korea

South Korea, a live wedding, toe jam munching fish, and a sudden onset No Kissing Rule.

 

Catherine and Sean's wedding was on Sunday.  The 4th Bachelor Wedding and the first ever aired live.  The first hour was all filler, them planning the wedding.  They have moved to Texas, where Sean is from, and are still currently living apart. Hey, whatever works for them.  Catherine wants their wedding theme to be "Grown Sexy". Okay, as apposed to immature sexy? The wedding planner pretends follow along, apparently roses are grown sexy.  They also keep stressing that Sean and Catherine have yet to have sex, so they show him uncomfortably picking out some lingerie for Catherine for their wedding night.  Next they show Catherine and said lingerie at a photo shoot, she is making sexy boudoir pics for him. Cute idea, I like it.  Of course we don't get to see the pics because, lets face it, Sean at that point hadn't even see that side of her yet.  They also keep showing us the empty honeymoon suite aka the much talked about consummation station.  Ewww just creepy. We got it ABC, they will be having sex tonight for the first time.


The ceremony finally starts and we get to see past contestants.  Arie asks Jef with one F about Emily, hahaha yeah that ended so long ago and she just announced she is engaged to a commoner......someone who has not been on the Bachelor, gasp!  There's prego Deanna and Stephen Stagilano, Trista and Ryan, Molly and Jason, Ashley and JP, and of course Des and Chris.  Even Andy Dick is there! Wait? What? Your guess is as good as mine. Leslie who was also on Sean's season and technically ex girlfriend is a bridesmaid which isn't weird at all.  Finally Catherine comes down the isle, what kind of music was that?? The violinist apparently were playing "Something" by Michael Jackson, it was so weird I didn't even recognize it!  They recite vows. Catherine is a little obsessed with Sean, I guess there are worse things in this world than loving your husband too much lol.  They kiss and Sean busts out into tears as they finish walking back down the aisle and it is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. These two crazy birds are so in love and all from a shallow TV show.

They don't show us any of the reception and thankfully no more of the honeymoon suite either.
 

Okay, on to Juan Pablo, who was not at the wedding. Harrison stops by to tell the remaining ladies that they need to pack their bags because they are headed to…….. South Korea !?! Ummm ok, they all lose their shit after hearing the news

Molly is like what's with all the shrieks it’s only Korea, not really romantic. Clare starts to cry because she has never left the states before. I mean sure I would love to visit different places all over the world but South Korea isn't one of them.  It is beautiful though, lots of old oriental buildings and palaces mixed with new buildings with neon lights.

Reminds me of Beijing or something.  The ladies lug their shit load of suitcases through the airport.

They make their way to their new home and it is sweeeeeeet.  Everyone is all giddy until they notice the date card sitting on the table. Nikki really really wants a 1 on 1 date but we all know that Sharleen from the previews, duh.  It’s a group date and Nikki is on it and she is not amused. She is tired of sharing and just wants her first real date gosh!

 

Group Date-  

Nikki, Kat, Cassandra, Danielle, Elise and Chelsie are all on this date and I know Elise has to be thrilled Chelsie is there since we heard  all last week how young Elise thinks she is.  The girls will be dancing with Korean pop sensation 2NE1.  Now I may be getting old but I swear that would stand for 2 anyone. But nope, apparently it stands for 21. Whatever.  Kat is super stoked for this date, her last date also involved dancing (Electric Run date) she loves to dance just like Juan Pabs. First 2NE1 wants to see if any of these girls can actually dance or are they all working with 2 left feet.  Kat is the first to step up and of course girl can move and seizes the opportunity to show off.

Nikki on the other hand is completely uncomfortable and just wants to crawl in a hole and die. She wants to throw a fit but she sucks it up and does her best lawn mower and knee/elbow dance.  It’s cute and at least she can have fun with it.

They don’t really show any of the other girls dancing so I assume they were normal white girl moves.  Next they show the girls the steps to the dance, Kat naturally picks it up easy and helps the other girls out. 
                 (Credit:ABC)
Sure she’s really confident in her moves and MAY be showing off a little bit and this is her time to shine!   Surprise! The girls find out they will actually be using the choreography they just learned at an actual concert today! 
                 (Credit:ABC)
Nikki says she about crapped her pants and I don’t blame her one bit! Dancing in front of a crowd, I would need lots of shots, lots of liquid courage.  Nikki hopes they will be performing in front of the South Korean School of the Blind. Hahahaha Nikki is my new favorite. Turns out they will be performing in a mall.  Is this the 80’s? I hope they run into Tiffany and Robin Sparkles.  They dress them up as one would assume they dress like in Tokyo , hello kitty, anime. And they look pretty ridiculous.

Nikki is not thrilled. hahahahaha
                     (Credit:ABC)

The dance isn’t bad, they start off strong but then pretty much let loose and dance however they want. I think Kat looks hot but my husband hates her face, I don’t get it, it’s a pretty face?  Kat looks like she is trying out for the Pussycat Dolls or something and Nikki suggests she stay behind and be a backup dancer for 2NE1. 
              (Credit:ABC)
Cassandra who is also a former NBA dancer doesn’t get much screen time, and Chelsie is always just a silly mess in her own little world. Apparently Danielle was on this date too but how does she always disappear?? Especially with her wild hair?? 

After that total waste of a time, JP takes the group to a furniture museum (?!?!?) Kat wants JP to know she’s not just a fun girl and she opens up about her alcoholic father who left her family when she was 5.  Daddy Issues!!  Meanwhile Nikki is telling the other girls how she thinks Kat is not here for the right reasons, she’s all relaxed with them but as soon as JP walks in the door, she gets all loud and excited, ummm isn’t that what a lot of people do when someone they like walks into a room? Anyways the other ladies are not hearing it, they think Nikki is too negative all the time.  I complain about working, I bet I would also complain if I had to constantly be with girls I may or may not like who are also dating the same guy. Yeah let the girl complain!  Elise uses her time wisely by talking about the other girls to Juan Pablo.  Nothing will get you sent home faster than discussing the drama in the house.  She talks about some of the girls that might not be here for the "right reasons" and might not make a great step mom.  Hear that Chelsie? Or Nikki? Or Kat? oh hell, who were we bitching about now again?

 

Nikki gets her time with JP and she confesses that she is nervous and that some of the other girls personalities can be over powering.  She comes from a very close family and is looking forward to having her own one day, whether pre-made or not. You see Nikki is Pro-Camilla. I've said it a thousand time but he always touches Nikki's face, and no not by kissing lol.
             (Credit:ABC)
I don't think they've even kissed yet! This time he poked her in the eye/touched her eyelashes? Was he checking to see if they were real? Trying to make a wish?  Nikki ends up get the group date rose for a second time in a row much to the other girls dismay. Plus Nikki gets her first kiss with him!

 

The next day back at the girl's hotel room. Molly Kelly fetches the date card.

 Where is Molly? I hope they left her back in LA and not end up in the markets of Korea. Sharleen gets the 1 on 1 date. She says honestly this isn't the next step in their relationship, this date is to see if there is a relationship. She's no way in love like some of these crazy loons pretend to be at this early stage. JP admits that Sharleen is currently his favorite! Holy crap that's a bad sign. Yeah she is going to pull a Brooks and bounce somewhere towards the end. There's no way they would show us this footage if Sharleen is the actual one at the end.  This has Des and Brooks written all over it.

On their date, Sharleen and Juan Pablo tour the city of Seoul.  They shop for Korean dresses and pick one up for Camila as well.  JP stops and eats some crazy stuff from the street vendors.  Sharleen reluctantly tries some and her face says it all.

Sharleen is worried that JP is boring and dull.  But over tea, Juan Pablo sparks her interest by being a smart ass. She calls him Cheeky.  They actually do have a lot in common.  Both have lived outside of their home country, been an outsider.  Sharleen likes his curiosity about the world.

Later that night he walks her out to an outdoor space. She's all like whaaat? He wants to finally hear her sing. 
             (Credit:ABC)
She tries to chicken out saying she usually don't open up that side of her so easily. Ummm don't opera singers usually sing for a room full of strangers? She felts out a few notes which of course are beautiful. It most have turned him on because she pulls her in to kiss her.  Heavy make out session, bites her lip.
             (Credit:ABC)
holy smokes, yeah they have chemistry. At dinner they get on the subject of kids. Her expression goes stone cold and she tries to dodge the question. No seriously Sharleen kids or no? You can see the internal struggle going on inside her head, lie or tell him I think kids are little terrors?  She goes with honesty and tells him she never saw herself having kids before.  Growing up she always focused her career.  She says she even dated a guy with a kid before and admits she was not ready for it. Damn. JP pushes further and asks what about it turns her away.  She says because they wouldn't share that first together, that milestone, he already shared that with an ex who will forever be in his life. I totally understand that. I get it.

 

Juan Pablo respects her honest and still gives her the rose! What?!? She basically just said she doesn't see herself as a step mother.....his number one criteria. Or is that dancing? must be dancing.

 

Renee, Ali and Lauren all think Sharleen is too sophisticated to have a kid, they can't see her with vomit all over her.  You're right, sophisticated people have no business having kids.  That should be left for the broken, single parent home.

 

 

Second group date goes to Clare, Kelly, Andi, Ali, Lauren and Renee.  Juan Pablo takes them to places all over the city. A karaoke bar, a dress up photo booth, and swan paddle boats.

hahaha Renee's face here is priceless. Was the singing that bad? Then a dress up photo booth.

Swan paddle boats.

Next they stop at a place called Dr. Fish.........it's one of those fish pedicure places.  They all stick their feet into pools of little fish that eat the dead skin of their feet.

              (Credit:ABC)
Hungry yet?  Clare gets very territorial when the other girls sit next to JP so as soon as a spot opens up she is right there by his side.  Is that a terrible thing?? you gotta get time with him and show you are interested.  After the fish get their fill they head out to the markets of Seoul.  Clare mentions to JP that she doesn't want to eat anything crazy little octopus, so that's immediately where JP takes them.  Everyone tries a tentacle except Clare.  Kelly is spot on when she says Clare needs to suck it up because she knows she swallowed bigger things then that before. Hahahahaha. After I pick myself of the floor and hear everyone chanting Clare, Clare, Clare.....she finally eats a piece.  She immediately spits it out but JP is so proud of her. 
              (Credit:ABC)
Well Played. You guys, Clare is no dummy, she got all the attention on her and made it seem like she over came something. Is it annoying, yes, but JP must like it.

                    (Credit:ABC)
 

That night Renee is the first to get some alone time with JP.  She really wants to kiss him this time since she has yet to.  For some reason tonight of all nights Juan Pablo decides that he has kissed too many girls already and is setting a bad example. Honey, going on the Bachelor is not really setting the best example to begin with.  She asks if she can kiss him (Girls you never have to ask permission to kiss a guy, if anything he should be asking you!) and of course JP denies her, saying it won't be fair to their kids. ugh.

 

All the girls keep returning to the group saying they didn't get kisses either. Well Clare isn't having any of that, she says she isn't going to TRY to kiss her man, she's just going to do it.

 

Meanwhile, Andi's time goes much better with JP. They snuggle under a blanket and he picks on her about her dancing (when did they go dancing?) and she comes back with she didn't see any great moves from him either. Ha! He says she really gets his humor.  They don't kiss but she doesn't really try to either.  They've spent most of their time together sucking face that they needed this time to actually have a conversation.  Not kissing actually helped them here I think. She will be in the final 4.

 

Lauren who you've hardly seen all season thinks this is her night for a big smooch.  She looks a little drunk actually and she tries to get JP to slow dance randomly and lay one on him. He dodges the kiss and it is hard to watch, I feel so bad for the girl. She is obviously humiliated and starts to cry. He tries to make the excuse that he wants to be a role model for his daughter and she rightly calls him out about kissing most of the girls already.   This is one of those He's just not that into you situations.

 

Clare finally gets her time with Juan Pabs and starts talking about eating that nasty octopus earlier and how she actually threw up in her mouth a little bit but swallowed it.  Kelly was right, she is good at swallowing. 

 

Cut to Andi and Kelly who are at the same moment making fun of Clare for her theatrical octopus shenanigans and it's pretty freaking hilarious. Kelly is definitely the comic relief this season.

Back to Clare, and somehow JP isn't repulsed by the vomit story.  He talks about how last week she apparently told him she wanted to hold off on kissing him for awhile so they connect on a different level.  Hmmmm maybe that's where he got this sudden no kissing idea from.  But of course now that none of the other girls have been unable to kiss him it has now become a challenge.  She tempts him by seductively eating chocolate and licking her lips.  Juan Pabs can't control himself any longer and breaks his new rule.

My thoughts are that Clare put that little seed in his head about not kissing for awhile. Plus I think he has already kissed all the girls he wants to kiss. Nikki, Andi, Clare, Sharleen, Kat, Cassandra, and Chelsie.

 

Clare is feeling pretty smug afterwards and convinced she is getting the group date rose. Nope! It's Andi! Clare should just be happy she got her kiss.

The party is held at a beautiful Korean palace.  Looks like Sharleen is wearing her Korean dress she got on her date.  Juan Pablo pulls Kelly away first for some time alone, and we don't get to see any of it! They never show us what goes down between these two.  The girls all agree that those that already have roses will basically sit this party out and let those that don't yet get some time with JP. Most of the girls think that is the respectful thing to do, except Nikki who remembers this is a competition and it's a stupid idea.  She says if there's any a time to be selfish, it's now.  So she walks right over and steals him away from Clare.  She reluctantly hands over JP but she's pissed. Nikki and JP really do have a good connection, you can tell he really wants to kiss her here but refrains.  He does ask her how it's going in the house, he heard there was drama (from Elise)  She's taken aback, doesn't really think there was any drama.  She's right, there's no Tierra or Courtney this season.  So now Nikki assumes Clare was just talking shit about her to him.

Nikki is bitching to Kelly when Clare walks up.  Kelly is completely caught in the middle.

Uncomfortable! Nikki asks if Clare if she brought her up during her time with JP, Clare of course didn't and tells her she would never waste her precious time with JP talking about any of the girls. Yeah Elise! Clare does wonder though how Nikki keeps getting roses because Clare just doesn't get what JP sees in her.
               (Credit:ABC)
Ouch. But Nikki isn't bothered because thankfully Clare isn't the one handing out the roses.  The cocktail party goes by too fast so since Nikki got extra time, some girls didn't get time at all. Opps.  But if Juan Pablo really wanted to talk to someone he would have, he's the El Bachelor for crying out loud.

 

 

Rose Ceremony-

Nikki, Sharleen and Andi already have roses.  Renee is called first, Then Chelsie, Kelly, Danielle (what?!?!?), Cassandra, Ali, Clare and.......Kat.

 

So that means Lauren and Elise are out. No shocker here. Elise's fate was sealed when she used her time to talk about the other girls.  Lauren, well poor Lauren. She knew she was going home.

My Final 4-
1. Clare
2. Nikki
3. Andi
4. Sharleen

Danielle can't possibly last mush longer can she? Next week they are head to......Nam! yep Vietnam.  I'm sure it's beautiful but I don't think I would want to go there.  Looks like Clare also makes an ass of herself, she sneaks over to his room but she gets shot down?? Does she try to pull a Courtney and steal him away for a secret skinny dipping rendezvous??

Please leave your comments below, tell me your opinion!

 

Bachelorette Des- The Finale

That time is finally here! The Shocking Conclusion! Can it top last weeks drama and heartbreak? We will find out.  Tonight is bittersweet, Mondays are losing their only redeeming quality.  We have to wait all the way until January for the next bachelor......who will it be??? We find out everything tonight.  Tonight's episode is being shown in front of a live studio audience, this is a huge bachelor nation event. The episode officially begins and we pick right back up where we left off last week, Des is still torn up about Brooks departure.  Harrison asks Des if she's ok, she tries to hold back the tears but she is clearly not ok. She says "at this point, I just want to go home"  this clip as been teased all season and I have no idea what's going to happen.  I'm hoping Brooks comes walking up any second but I guess that's just my wishful thinking.  After many, many tears later, Des decides she if going to go ahead with the rose ceremony, oh yeah, forgot about that.  Chris and Drew have absolutely no clue that Des' world has been turned upside down.  They arrive for the ceremony and Harrison informs them that Brooks will not be joining them tonight and lets Des explain.  Well at least she tries to, she looks like she is going to bust out in tears any second.  She says Brooks chose to leave on his own and it really hurt, she then tells the guys that if they don't have feelings for her in return to please not accept the rose and then breaks down. Poor girl, the guys look crushed and look like they just want to console her. Chris says he loves her.  Drew says he is ready to propose and could never walk away, like Brooks did. Cut to live audience, Chris asks some of the ladies some questions.  The booze must be flowing because these bitches be slurring, who's got the drunk eye? that girl.

 

The next day, Des has a date with Drew.  They are going horseback riding around the island and Des doesn't even hop down from the horse to greet him, ouch. She asks him what he's been up to.....hanging by the pool? No. By the beach? Nope. ok then what have you been doing? Oh just sitting in my room. Man this is painful! Des is just not feeling it. She says she just can not get excited about this date, she can't even enjoy the beautiful view.  This is not looking good for Drew. Afterwards, they sit down to have a picnic on the beach and Des says "we need to talk".  No good has ever followed those words.  Long story short, she just knows it's not right.  Drew is shocked but tells her she should not have to apologize for not loving him back.  Surprisingly Drew takes it pretty well, no man tears or nothing. Damn. I knew he was not going to be around much longer but I did not expect her to cut him in the middle of the date.

 

Next is Chris and I really hope his date goes better.....or they won't have anything to show for the last two hours.  Chris also has no idea he is the last man standing. Des seems relaxed around him and she's actually smiling again, yay!  They have always been so cute together but Brooks always seemed to steal the show. Ok I will stop talking about him, he's not coming back.  Des takes Chris out on the catamaran that Brooks didn't use last week, ouch.  Chris brings up the rose ceremony and how he just wanted to run over and give her a hug when she started crying. The also says "you'll have a shoulder to cry on if you have to, you will never have to just stand there by yourself".  AWWWW   They makeout on the boat, then in the ocean and all i can think about is shark week! Watch out for Megalodon!! LOL. That night, Des meets Chris back at his room and she pounces in the door to lay one on him, girl must be excited.  Chris toasts to the night.  He says their relationship has never taken a step back, they always pick up right where they left off.....the complete opposite of how Brooks felt. Des just got slapped in the face with the truth! Ok Ok I've come to terms that he is just not coming back and Chris is looking more and more like a perfect match for her.  Chris's feelings for Des never falter and he has always been able to communicate his feelings, something she's said she needed since day one.  Chris says he is more than comfortable with the up coming decision and is ready to meet her family. Crap! I forgot about her family, damn you Bachelor! You've got me all out of whack! They move the conversation to the bed and something tells me it's about to get more action than the fantasy suite.  Chris has a gift for her and it's a journal, no not Zaks with the sweet but strange dad to daughter message. This one has his very own message in it.  Des is crying again but this time it's happy tears because she is finally receiving love back, not just a one way street like in her past.

 

Back to Harrison and the live audience. Jackie, Leslie and Lindsey from Sean's season are there again,  These ladies must have nothing better to do since there is no Bachelor Pad this year.......oh and Sean and Catherine are there too to rub their happiness in their faces. Harrison asks the question we all want to know, when is the freaking wedding already? They apparently have a date set very soon but they aren't going to tell us, Bastards! Harrison asks Jackie about her thoughts when she was in Madeira with Des to meet the guys, she thought Brooks was the one.  Why Harrison?! Why keep bringing him up, why tease us asking if he's coming back. He's not, stop toying with us!  Besides Chris is looking more and more like a better match anyways.

 

Back to Des and Chris, he will be meeting her parents and brother today! Why have they been holding out on the brother teasers from us??  Her brother Nate asks Chris how he feels about her having a possible stronger connection with someone else.  He says in normal life, other guys may be pursuing her as well, you just don't see it. Next Nate asks about Drew with a big smirk on his face knowing good and well that he is no longer here. Chris replies he's a great guy, no way he's going to bash Drew. See Nate, THIS is what a decent guy is like, take some pointers. Chris sits down with her father and asks him for her hand in marriage. He of course says yes.  Chris leaves and Des talks with her brother privately, ewww he is just sooooo gross.  He asks if she loves Chris, she says "yes, in this moment" yikes. Nate isn't buying it either and calls her out for still having feelings for Brooks.  Does she really love Chris or is she just settling. Damn, Des and America are shocked that he's actually making sense.

 

Meanwhile, Chris is meeting with Neil Lane to pick out a ring! oh snap! it's happening!  Chris is also still talking about Drew being there and someone really needs to tell him.

 

Finally the day of the last rose ceremony/proposal.  Des is wearing a peach/pink strapless gown, it's beautiful but not my favorite color.  She says she needs to be completely honest with Chris and tell him exactly how hard she fell for Brooks. Chris' limo arrives and he looks like he's about to puke. He meets her at the platform and he immediately starts gushing about all their dates together, dancing in Munich, that deserted island in Maderia. Then he starts to get down on one knee, but Des stops him and he/we all assume it's for the worst. Chris looks crushed for a split second. But no she just wants to be honest with him, She tells him he is the only guy left, the only one who met her family, that she sent Drew home a couple days ago.  She also explains that she had such strong feelings for Brooks that it clouded her mind. She realized Chris had been her rock all along. And now I'm in tears. He's been the communicator she's been looking for.  Then he finally gets down on one knee and she says yes!! They look so happy and so cute together.

 

Ok My thoughts- I know I was team Brooks and I really wanted him to come back. One reason was because how would Chris (let's face it, Drew never stood a chance) feel after seeing all of it unfold on TV, there would be no way they would stay together. Remember Brad and Emily, after the show, Emily was so pissed and their relationship crumbled because she finally saw his relationship with the other women aka fantasy suites.  So I assumed Chris would be the same way if she settled for him.  But now I take that back, Chris had been her rock from the beginning, they always wrote poems back and forth, they built a stronger relationship than her and brooks ever did. I'm sure it hurt Chris to see it but I may be crazy for saying this but it might have made them stronger. I'm really rooting for these two and do think they are a perfect match.

 

AFTER THE FINAL ROSE- Harrison is right, it was a roller coaster of a season!  Des comes out and she's looking great in a sparkly, white, mini dress.  Harrison asks if she's happy and she says she had to go through the bad/heartbreak to see the good.  That Chris was always there for her no matter what. Harrison asks the hard question, is Chris a rebound? Des says no because she had always had feelings for Chris since the beginning, just took a little longer to flourish. 

 

Well Brooks is here! Let's bring him out!  and boy does he look good.! He got a haircut, I like his longer hair before but it looks great too a little shorter.  He comes out wearing a dark grey plaid suit and looks delicious. He looks very GQ. Des face says it at!  Of course that attraction is still there, but he broke her heart.  Brooks had not seen the finale so he doesn't know what happened after he left. Des says "After you left, it was actually really good" LOL she spills that she is now engaged to Chris.  Brooks says he's happy for them, that he could see their chemistry during group dates.  Ok enough with you Mr. Heartbreaker, Lets move on to Drew.  He comes out in a light blue/grey suit...at least it's not pink.  He says it's been 3 months but it's been a long road to recovery. Talking about his exit, he said he saw "breakup town" coming. yeah we all did buddy.   Harrison asks if he still loves Des. He says he has nothing but love for her but no, he's no longer in love with her.

 

Finally Chris comes out.  Harrison immediately asks the million dollar question, how does he feel about Brooks relationship after seeing it.  Chris says they have built something great since.  They haven't seen their proposal yet so they watch it again....but they don't show they whole thing, just after she stops him the first time from getting down on one knee.  Harrison asks what's next? Des says she is moving to Seattle this weekend!!  Chris just got a new job there so they are going to start fresh in a new place together.  So sweet. But this season isn't over yet folks! Not without one more last poem!  Chris busts out a framed poem and it has dried rose petals from all the roses he received from Des at the ceremonies. So freaking sweet! Brooks who?

 

And Last but Not Least the Next Bachelor is....................Juan Pablo!!!  And the Crowd. Goes. Wild. Thank God! I don't think I would have been able to watch had it been Zak or Drew. I think Juan Pablo will be just the thing we need to warm our cold and dreary hearts in January...........or should I say Juanuary. oh and he will be the first non-white Bachelor/Bachelorette on this show (excluding the 25 contestants of course) I wonder if somehow the Bachelor masterminds planned this to shut the media up about it? Anyways, what are we going to watch now on Mondays for the next 5 months???

The Bachelorette- Finale Part 1

Welcome to part 1 of the "SHOCKING CONCLUSION" of the Bachelorette! The most dramatic event of the summer....They say this every year and they have a lot of living up to do! Des is meeting her final 3 guys in beautiful Antigua this week. I've been to Antigua and it really is that gorgeous, of course, it's the Caribbean!! The first 30 mins is a recap of the season, yeah yeah yeah we know all the other guys she sent home, yes we remember Brian with the GF. Now she's talking about her 3 remaining guys. Chris- athletic, sweet, poetic. Drew- sweet, hot body, family man. Brooks- well he's in a league of his own. Finally, we get to the exotic dates.

 

Drew is up first. They hop in a Jeep, with Des finally letting the guys drive, to explore the island.  Drew drives a little ways then pulls over to kiss her. Ugh, his cheese is too much. It just seems so forced- See Des I like kissing you, I like kissing girls I promise. They stop at a party at what looks like a local bar/restaurant. There are drums and booze and dancing.  Then they bust out the Limbo pole! Oh snap it's getting crazy over here folks haha.  They sneak away for a picnic to soak up all that rum and talk about last weeks hometown date. Of course his family loved her! Duh he's bringing a girl home. That night, Des had a romantic dinner planned on the beach but a storm rained it out.  Drew makes use of the opportunity to kiss in the rain, he almost sucks her face off, his hands all in her hair (hey thanks b/c the humidity hasn't done enough) All the while she's still trying to hold an umbrella hahaha.  They make their way inside and Surprise! it's the Fantasy Suite! Dang Des must really wanna see that Ken doll body, too bad his package is probably the same as a Ken doll to...nada. Des officially gives him the Fantasy Suite card, he says yes, he really wants to wake up next to her and say good morning.  They sit indian style on the bed and make out, I don't know about you but I love to make out awkwardly sitting like that hahaha. Drew then tells the cameras it's time to get out! It goes dark and we hear lots of kissing and slurping, ewww.  I wonder how far they went? Especially if she loves Brooks so much.

 

Next we go to Brooks.........who is still in the US...in Idaho?!?! What?! Why?! He is still having doubts, ugh, and needs to talk to his mom and sister there.  I thought he did that at hometowns??  Anywho, he is not 100% in love with Des and the idea of proposing to her makes him uncomfortable.  His family says if he's having any doubts he doesn't need to do it, but he should definitely go and talk to her. I'm glad he is being honest and rational about proposing, I mean they've only known each other 6 weeks! But it's not looking good for Des.  He is going to Antigua to tell her how he feels.

 

Meanwhile, Chris is on his date with Des.  They take a helicopter to the nearby Island of Barbuda. What a gorgeous date!  Loooove the color of the water down there. They have a picnic on the secluded island, then get in the ocean. Did they wait the 30 mins before going in? I don't know but it doesn't matter because they spent the majority of the time rolling around in the sand making out while the waves crashed around them. Now THIS is chemistry and Drew doesn't stand a chance.  They spend the rest of the day intertwined, making out in the ocean. That night, no rain so they have dinner outside.  Things get serious when Chris talks about the future. He has a great job opportunity in Seattle and wonders if Des would be willing to relocate there.  She says she loves California but she can work anywhere. Chris loves that she's open and ready, his words not mine. The frogs or jungle crickets or whatever are so loud right now, shhhh I can't hear what they are saying. Des presents him with the Fantasy Suite Card.  Of course he accepts it.  He says he just wants it to be relaxed, no expectations, just watching the stars.  Their suite is an awesome indoor/outdoor space, plenty of places to "star gaze." First things first though, Chris has another poem for her, oh goody. Hey it's their thing and it's somewhat cute.  They make use of the hot tub and I don't know how they would not hook up tonight.

 

Brooks finally heads to Antigua, and Chris Harrison shows up at his room. Uh Oh! that's never a good sign!  Brooks tells Chris that he's not madly in love with Des yet, he wanted his feelings to be much further along than this. Harrison asks- So are you just not sure, or are you not in love with her?  Brooks pauses for a while, letting that question sink in, obviously he's not sure.  But he's not ready to propose so he's going to break it off with her. O.M.G!  I get that this is a serious matter, but they don't have to get married tomorrow! He can still be the one at the end but with no proposal just dating exclusively, that happens all the time on this show. But Brooks has made up his mind.  Des is getting ready for her date and is gushing about Brooks, awwwww she is going to be devastated!! Brooks walks up and Des immediately knows something is wrong, which makes Brooks feel worse because she can read him, they have that connection, then what are you doing dude?!?  They walk out on the pier and sit on a bench. What a beautiful place to get dumped : / He lists all the things that he loves about her but says when they are apart, he loses those feelings. He really, really wants to be madly in love with her but he's not. Ouch, Des can't even look at him. Des asks -Why now? Why not before? He says he didn't know, was still trying to figure it out. She pulls her knees up to her chest, buries her head and cries. Brooks tries to put his arm around her and she says stop it! she is pissed and hurt.  She finally confesses to Brooks that she was at the finish line, she loved him, that he was the one. Brooks looks shocked at this revelation, really?  He knew she was further along than him. Brooks looks so torn at this point. He asks why she didn't tell him before, she says because she COULDN'T!!  Des is like alright, I guess you got a plane to catch, lets go.  Des starts to walk him to the exit limo, I'm just waiting this whole time for Brooks to come to his senses. Brooks says something along the line of at least now she doesn't have to be conflicted in her decision....Brooks is just not getting it. She says the only reason she was conflicted was because she wanted to choose him all along, go on all the dates with him.  Des finally parts ways with him so she can officially bawl her eyes out in somewhat privacy. Brooks walks the rest of the way to the limo but stops every few feet to turn back, cry, and debate on going back. YES go back!  He's crying so hard but he's the one who wanted to break up, he can still fix it!  He says he doesn't want to leave and wasn't expecting to feel this way.  Des heads back to the pier to hang her feet off the edge and cry in her lap, good call, the cameras can't get all in her face, they have to stay back and shoot from behind (hahaha ok now is not the time for a dirty joke, gosh) Brooks finally makes himself get in the limo and he drives off.  Des says "It breaks my heart knowing that I have 2 amazing guys. Guys who want to and do love me. But I know I just can't love them as much, and that's not what they deserve. Honestly, for me, it over" and scene.

 

Holy Crap!!! ok Bachelor, you lived up to the hype, it was shocking and dramatic.  I shed a few tears for them, I feel soooo bad for Des, been there. What was Brooks thinking? I don't think you should force love but you can tell he has very, very strong feelings for her but just feels pressured to propose or leave.  I know this is a HUGE decision but I don't think he realized how much he loved her.  My guess is he goes back home and realizes he loved her all along, can't live without her and comes back.  Or maybe he realizes what Des just said, that she chooses him, he asks the limo to pull over, jumps up, and runs back to Des....to the "finish line" Or maybe I've watched too many RomCom's. 

 

What is she going to do now?  There is no way she can choose another guy now, not after they see this. Plus how is she going to have a devastating break up one week, then get engaged to your 2nd choice the next week. Brooks has to come back right? Or she ends up with no one at all. Please run back to the finish line Brooks, please!

 

 

 

Bachelorette Des- Men Tell All

Woohooo It's that time again, Men Tell All! Love these episodes, the Bachelorette gets to confront the guys after watching the show and seeing things she didn't get to see. And of course man on man drama.

 

But before we get to any of the good stuff, we have to watch Chris and Des crash some viewing parties.  I wonder if that's why the ratings are down, because huge gaggles of girls(and some men) get together to watch it on one TV. Or maybe Des just isn't entertaining for some. who knows. Next we see Des have some more girl time. Past Bachelorettes are there to give Des some advice on seeing the guys she sent packing.  Emily, Ali and Ashley are there and I love them all.  Emily says not to let them pull a fast one over on her like Kalon tried on her, before she went all West Virginia hood rat on him hehe. Oh sweet Emily. Ali asks if Ben was really that bad? Besides of course his exit limo rant- where the bitches at? Next they talk about Brian with the girlfriend, and the girls know exactly how she feels.  Ali had Justin aka Rated R the wrestler.  The girls joke that the Stephanie girl better not have gotten back with Brian's cheating ass, or they are going to throw rocks at her! lol (she apparently threw rocks at Brian during a past argument) Can we please see footage if that happens? I think the girls should be able to throw rocks at some of the guys, like James for example hehe. I think Ali would be first in line! She is fired up about how James treated Des, she says he tried to manipulate her into thinking his actions were ok, that it's ok to think about your next girlfriends. Ali is feisty! I miss her, forgot how much I liked her, I think I may like her better than Emily. I said Ashely was there too but she didn't say much which is unusual, she is the usually the hyper one running around. Maybe she was drunk and sleepy.

 

Finally the Men! The guys that were brave enough/haven't quite gotten their 15 mins of fame, showed up.

Robert-sign spinny guy that got no screen time, and again tonight no screen time

Dan- who? oh Jeff Probst look alike

Nick- Charlotte guy! maybe he will talk more! nope

Brad- DJ with the kid.....and possible restraining order from baby momma

Jonathan- Fantasy suite guy, enough said

Bryden- The Army was a breeze but the Bachelorette was too much for him....

Brandon- Mr. Emotional

Will- The token black guy.  Dang I forgot about most of these men, and they don't help their case much by not talking tonight either

Zack K-again who? I need to go back and read my notes.

James- BOOOOOOO!! the whole audience booos him hahaha

Ben- also gets boooed but not quite as loud.

Mikey T- the other meathead, he actually gets some applause here, really ladies?

Juan Pablo- Holy Estrogen Batman! The audience went nuts when they called his name! Hot flashes all around

Kasey- no one is paying attention at the moment, still screaming for J Pablo

Michael- ugh the federal instigator

and Zak W- recent reject.  Just when I thought he couldn't get any more spray tanned, he looks like an oompa loompa here, yikes.

So the no shows tonight are Brain with the GF (Boooo), Failed dip doctor Larry and Diogo the knight in armor. No wait, cut to outside, he is trying to get into the building but can't get through the metal detectors. really? Are we really supposed to believe it is Diogo Why doesn't he just take it off? Oh right because it isn't him. I bet wasn't even his suit to begin with, the producers must just have that suit of armor laying around??

 

Chris asks Jonathan if he regretted the fantasy suite idea, of course he does.  He says it was a last minute joke gone horribly horribly wrong, and he got drunker and drunker as the night went on.  He apologizes profusely and genuinely looks mortified from his actions.  Can't hate the guy, there's always someone who accidentally gets wasted on all the free booze.

 

Chris asks Juan Pablo what he thought of all the drama. He said he's been on plenty of soccer teams with men but never seen this kind of drama. Well yes, but hopefully your whole team isn't dating the same girl. He also says Ben walked in the door on the first night saying he wasn't there to make friends, I can see how that was a slap in the face to the guys, Ben didn't even try to like any of them.

 

First in the Hot seat is Brian- or not.  Harrison says they reached out to him and he declined....so they are going to talk about him anyways! WooHooo. Love Harrison. They call him a coward, Brandon says no man should ever treat a woman like that.....and he also points to Ben who is sitting in front of him and doesn't see him pointing at him, so brave Brandon.

 

Ben is the first official first one in the hot seat.  He tries to explain that his limo exit was not like him, that he had just had a horrible date and been dumped so he acted like a jack ass. Dan Probst speaks for the first time and boy is it good! He says he met up with Ben's baby momma in Vegas and she spilled some nasty details about him.  Apparently she said Ben was not a good father and actually cheated on a current girlfriend when he got her pregnant. Damn!  I guess no one told Dan that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, you know he tapped that.  Ben still denies everything and says he has a great relationship with his ex. Yeah ok, right.

 

Next is James' turn, he tries to still defend himself saying Mikey started the infamous Bachelor convo and thinks some of the guys owe him an apology for ruining his shot with Des, hahaha yeah okay James. Of course none of the guys do, Mikey is there finally to tell his side of the story but somehow he just can't remember who actually started that topic, yeah uhh huuh.  Mikey says it's ok to have a plan B and Kasey calls BS and asks if on their wedding day he is going to be thinking of his next wife. That's a little dramatic but the audience loves it! Mikey is pissed and gets in Kasey's face, again showing what a meathead his is. Kacey remains seated and tries to finish his sentence, James is just eating this stuff up still sitting over with Harrison in the hotseat.  Mikey is mad because his face is all over the tabloids from this whole overheard conversation he supposedly had, and Kasey rightly points out that James was the one who threw him under the bus and said he was the one who started it.  They all argue back and forth and Juan Pablo, the voice of reason this episode said look "I like James, but I have a sister and a daughter and would never let them date him" hahaha he goes on to say "Maybe if he became a good James, but not now" hahaha.  Juan Pablo is not just great to look at, he also may be the smartest one here, aside from Harrison of course. Speaking of, Harrison asks the audience if they want James as the next bachelor? The whole room shouts NOOOOOOOOO, hahaha thats gotta burn.

 

Juan Pablo- Talk about getting the Bachelor edit!! The audience goes nuts everytime he opened his mouth.  Harrison says that in the history of the show, no one has made a bigger impact with so little screen time as Juan Pablo.  I always thought he was really, really good looking- DUH, but tonight we got to actually see some personality! He is funny, endearing, and don't let his broken english fool you, he's no dummy. Did I mention he was sexy?? just a lil bit. He says he is looking for a wife and mother to his daughter Camilla who he spends every weekend with so it's tough on his dating life.  He said he let Camilla watch the season premiere this year since there was no kissing yet (Awww) and that Camilla made fun of how Des pronounced his name Wan Paaahbloo. Too cute. I'm just waiting for airborne panties from the audience to smack JPab in the face any second.  OH! and remember the Mr America pageant they did and for some ungodly reason they didn't show him in his speedo? Well they finally did tonight.....and well thank you.  I would be perfectly happy seeing that man candy on my tv next January when it's cold and dreary. JPab for Bachelor!! 

 

Last is recent reject Zak.  He talks about his shirtless limo arrival and how he is basically a wild, spontaneous ball of energy and he came out with his crazy guns blazing to see if Des could keep up. Well I guess it worked because he made it waaaaay further than I ever thought, I didn't think he would even make it past night one.  He is the equivalent of Lindsey from Sean's season, she came out of the limo in a freaking wedding dress, got shitfaced that first night but made it to the final 2. ok back to Zak, he says he works on the oil rigger for 6 months out of the year so it's really hard to meet women.......so those other 6 months?  I bet it's even harder to meet women in a sno cone truck dressed as a penguin....I think he might have a better shot on the oil rigger.  Harrison has the journal Zak gave Des (I guess she gave it back with the ring? ouch) but what Des didn't know is there was a hidden message in the back, Zak wrote a poem in blacklight ink...........you know what else glows in blacklights?!?! Ewwwww. But wait, so Zak gave her this journal waay back in episode 2 or 3, did it have the poem in it then??? because it talks about how much he loves her and at that point he hadn't even had a date with her yet. I guess he always did come on a little strong.

 

Finally Des comes out to take her turn in the hot seat and see these guys for the first time since sending them home.  She goes straight for Jonathan and is about to rip him a new one when she realizes he is completely embarrassed and trying to apologize. Apparently Des didn't get to hear anything backstage.  She accepts his apology and moves on to Ben.  She is pissed about his limo exit, she said he wasted no time talking about Hollywood and hooking up with girls.  She said it just proved he wasn't there for the right reasons and she made the right decision.  She saves the biggest douche for last. She embraces her inner Ali and says James did manipulate her, he made her feel bad for trusting the other guys.....who were right!  He's just not getting it though, he's acting like the victim.  Des finally just gives up with an "Ugh" there's no getting through that thick meathead skull. Moving on, Harrison asks her why she sent JPab home so soon. There's too much screaming and woooing from the audience that I don't catch her answer, but I assume it's because she's in love with Brooks.  She should have at least taken him to the fantasy suites, he's soooo much better looking than Drew. Next is Zak, she says she felt like he was always hiding behind his smile, that it's basically ok to have a bad day once in a while. Or in other words, he never stood a chance up against Brooks or even Chris.  But Wait, Zak has not quite sung enough on this show so he busts out his guitar and I leave the room. I thought him getting the boot last week, that I wouldn't have to suffer through any more songs.  And I'm surprised Michael didn't accuse him of being there to promote a singing career.

 

Finally the Blooper Reel! There are falling lights, falling people, Des attempting to go into a porta-potty but getting the heebeegeebee's, JPab trying to say yodeler and Harrison trying unsuccessfully to pronounce their hotel in Germany "how about next time we stay at a Marriott?" hehehe.

 

Well that's it, they show us more teasers of Des crying saying she wants to go home, nothing new, the same previews they've shown all season, so why did the audience look like they just showed them puppies being slaughtered?? I mean the faces on these women looked horrified and shocked, did they see something that we didn't? Another shot of James in that bubble bath??? who knows.

 

Ok so we can all agree that Drew is the next to go home right? He just doesn't stand a chance.  Can Chris beat Brooks at this point? and even if he did, would he still want Des after seeing her falling all over Brooks all season? Talk about second choice.  Either she ends up with Brooks or Brooks doesn't share her same feelings and she ended up with no one.....my bet is on the former.

Bachelorette Des- Hometowns

This week things get more serious, each of the guys takes Des home to meet their family.  These episodes are usually entertaining and full of cringe worthy moments, with at least one hometown dates being a complete disaster. Des knows all about this, just ask her brother Nate. Okay, let the hometowns begin-

 

Zak Waddell 31- Dallas, Texas. Zak says he has a crazy family. That makes me nervous coming from the guy who came out of the limo shirtless and jumped in the pool on the first night.   Zak rambles about some dream he had, sun, them melting in the sand, now it's snowing and there kids? Des, along with all of America, is completely confused?? He gets up and takes off, hurdling over a fence. Great, he has another surprise, I hope he keeps his clothes on this time. Turns out, Zak's family owns a sno-cone business! Man, Zak really needs to work on his story telling skills, that was the best introduction he could think of? Yeah so his family owns a sno-cone truck......just a like an icecream truck but less creepy. No wait, now Zak comes out in a penguin costume, and they stop at a school to give out free sno cones. Not creepy at all right? Des tells the kids that the penguin is her boyfriend, and kisses him on his furry cheek. I can't make this shit up! I didn't know Des was into that sort of thing, lol. The kids are rightfully disgusted and take off with their free flavored ice.  Zak then takes Des to meet his family. Holy Crap they are all great looking! Hmmm great genes. I would consider Zak the ugly one in the family, his face is just weird to me. Des tells the story of Zak's shirtless arrival and his family is mortified. His cutie brother says "Oh you were that guy?" and his beautiful sister calls him a weirdo. I love this family!!! Until they start singing a song Zak wrote for Des, ugh. It's a nice song but it just makes me uncomfortable.  At the end of the day, Zak walks Des outside, tells her me loves her and he gives her a promise ring he bought in Atlantic City he said, and has been holding on to it ever since, waiting on the right moment.  Sorry Zak, this was a sweet gesture but you or Drew is going home tonight, and Drew has his sister which I think will pull at Des' heartstrings more than this ring, just saying.

 

 

Drew Kenney 27 -Scottsdale, Arizona.  Drew comes out looking more feminine than ever, light pink shirt and khakis. He is just too pretty, I could never be with a guy that was maybe prettier than me haha. Looks like Des might be someone's beard.  Drew talks about seeing as how his parents are divorced, his Dad has never been in his Moms house. Perfect time to do this, on national television meeting your sons "girlfriend" for the first time, there shouldn't be any tension at all.  First, Drew takes Des to pick up his sister, who is severely mentally handicapped, from her caregiver.  She is so excited to see Drew, it is really sweet.  Then they head to his family's house to meet everyone else.  Drew says he is going to tell Des that he loves her, he is also going to tell his family that she is the one he is going to spend the rest of his life with, um no, No you're not Drew.  His dad toasts to a great evening and I hope that is ginger ale in his glass, since he is a recovering alcoholic. Drew talks about the first night, he was the first out of the limo and forgot to tell Des his name, how mortifying right Zak? Des sits down with his dad and he asks her what she likes about Drew, His eyes she says. Deep. Drew is talking with his Mom and it's pretty emotional. They are excited that he may have found the one, poor guy. That night, Drew walks Des out and he flat out tells her (in an almost baby voice,eww) that he loves her.  She looks happy though.  Okay, I've liked Drew since the beginning, I thought he was really good looking, but the more he's falling in love, the more sensitive and feminine he gets to me, I dunno, he basically gets gayer and gayer each week to the point He may be the one in the dress at the end. I kid I kid, but I seriously question if Des is his "type".

 

Chris Siegfried- McMinnville, Oregon. Chris used to be a professional baseball player so he took Des to the field he grew up playing on.  Chris is impressed by Des' baseball skills, she can actually throw and catch. She tells Chris "you're a catch" pun intended. Cute. Des has a gift for Chris, sketches of their times together, Burn Zak. See, he doesn't stand a chance, when she uses your gift idea on another dudes date.  She drew a picture of the first night, he was the one who came out of the limo, got down on one knee.....and tied his shoe.  These two are very arts and crafty, cute match.  Chris takes Drew to meet his family.  At dinner, Chris points out that Des slipped on a rock in the ocean and hurt her back, why did we not get to see this Bachelor producers???  I'm assuming it happened last episode when they were throwing that bottle out into ocean/crashed on rocks.  Anywho, Chris's dad is a chiropractor and wants to align Des' back.  To make things even more convenient, His dad has his whole practice down stairs.   It's a little awkward but nothing compared to some hometowns (hello taxidermy).  They go into exam room 2 (sorry stupid shit i notice) and he starts popping and cracking her neck and back, awww man I bet that felt good. I'm actually jealous.  Des is appreciative but just wants to talk to him about his son. Next Chris goes down stairs, I thought to save Des, but instead it's his turn for an alignment......a nose alignment. Yep you heard that right. His father sticks some instrument up each nostril and adjusts? Hey he's the professional.  All the while having a heartfelt convo about Des, hahahah whatever works. Chris is nervous about his mothers opinion of Des and really wants her approval. The whole family talks about Chris's ex girlfriend and how much they didn't like her. Man she must have really been a bitch, I don't think Des has to worry. Good News! His mom really likes Des and can see her in the family. Chris is ecstatic and him and Des makeout in the driveway. (The previews for this hometown showed Des hanging upside in Chris's dads office and him tucking her shirt into the back of her pants......they did not show this)

 

 

Brooks Forester 28- Salt Lake City, Utah.  They meet in a park and Des can't keep her lips off him, Her love for him is so obvious.  She gives him a paper rose, he unfolds it and it lists all their memories together so far, the Hollywood sign, his broken finger (lol) and the clouds. It is really sweet.  They get in a canoe and paddle around the pond, they almost flip over a couple times. These two are so endearing together.  He takes her to meet his family and man is it a huge family! 9 siblings!!! and their significant others! They all wear name tags which is hilarious and thoughtful.  They walk in the door and his brothers basically push Brooks out of the way and group hugged Des lol.  They made her feel right at home immediate.  I bet this family is a ton of fun. Sidenote- Brooks is apparently the mormon Michael was referring to while arguing with Ben.  I don't think he is a devout Mormon anymore but he still has strong christian values, as well as Des.  Back to hometowns, Brooks is getting advice from all his married siblings and he seems to really be taking this seriously. His mom sits down with Des and she loves her! After getting his families approval, Brooks says he is more optimistic and can actually see marriage in the future.

 

Back in LA, Des sits down with.......Her Brother!  He is still cocky, and rude, and boy are these two complete opposites.  I know they grew up poor, but dang her brother just comes off as trailer trash, look at those hand and neck tattoos. Glad Des turned out with some class, not sure what happened with her brother.  Apparently they haven't spoken since he ruined her hometown date with Sean last season! (Sean meet her family and he called Sean a playboy and was just a flat out ass to him). Des is still pissed at him for that, the brother did have a point though....Sean wasn't the one for Des, but you don't need to be a jerk about it.  Des lists her 4 guys and their qualities.  So is he going to meet them? no? Then what was the whole point in this?

 

Rose Ceremony- Des sits down with Chris Harrison.  She is still in love with Brooks and Harrison asks if he's said the big L word yet? nope! But Des is confident in his feelings, he doesn't have to say it to show it.  She is still also falling for Chris too, especially after meeting his family.  Drew and Zak have also told her they love her, everyone except Brooks.  Chris Harrison walks each of the guys through the lobby of the Beverly Hilton to the ceremony while Des' brother stood behind a pillar giving them the stank eye.  Brook and Chris both get roses and of course it's down to Drew and Zak, big shocker right?  She gives the last rose to Drew, how could she not have after his hometown date with his sister? She would come off a a complete bitch.  Sorry Zak, grab your shirt and go.  Did he ever stand a chance up against Brooks and even Chris?  Des gives Zak his promise ring back and he gets in the limo.  Zak says he is numb and completely shocked, gonna take a while to sink in.  He doesn't cry much, in fact he comes off as a complete gentleman, next Bachelor? I hope not, I can't look at that face all season, ugh I don't know if Drew would be any better.  Zak also tosses the promise ring out the window, he must have gotten it cheap on the boardwalk in Atlantic city.

 

Next Week is Men Tell All!!!  I heard Brian, with the girlfriend, doesn't show up. Oh well, we still have- douche bags Mikey and James, Michael the Defender,  Bryden who left, fantasy suite fail Jonathan, BooHoo Brandon, and not so villainous Ben.  The finale previews show an island (Antigua) a voice over which sounds like Brooks saying he's falling in love with her. Then a ton of tears and Des says she just wants to go home! Nooooo I really hope this is editing (like with the huge fist fight that never happened between the guys) I really hope Brooks doesn't chicken out and leave!  I like Chris too but how can that relationship work after he sees this and how much she loves Brooks.
